Never ending Fight Script *Scenes 4 and 5*

There are 3 other scenes that I did not write but I may post later if you guys want to see it.

Scene 4

[The stage is dark, the spotlights have faded only to slowly become brighter but now in two colors. Two red beams splay upon Pele and Belisama who are standing on opposite ends of the stage facing away from each other but both glancing over their shoulders toward the other. A yellow beam shows Brigid, Loki, and Vulcan standing close to each other in the middle of the stage. Brigid stands between the two boys her body tense as if she is awaiting something. Both boys standing facing her but Vulcan’s body is also turning slightly toward Belisama who is closest to him. A white light shows a group of outsiders who seem to be concerned but are to unsure to step in and save the group. The narrators step forward and are shown with a pink hued around them. As the first one speaks, Brigid is pulled away from Vulcan by Loki so that now there are two yellow beams. The pair slowly creep toward Pele but still remain in the center of the stage. Vulcan side steps between Brigid and Belisama, his face unreadable.]

Narrator 1: It was by chance the two girls started talking and became friends. Chance struck again when it brought two more in to the mix. One from a French class and the other from an English class. Three of them had a love for horses and the fourth knew nothing of them. It was an odd mix of people and for them to become as tight as they did is truly a miracle. They had their rough times, their good times, and times that they wish to never remember. They grew closer but sides were set two and two, best friends and best friends but all friends in the same group. Then the blood spilled in May and again in the winter months. The sides started changing and the group started to crumble.

[Belisama frowns and glances over her shoulder at the group that she had once felt part of, now she is unsure how to act so she stays on her side of the stage just watching them. Vulcan glances between his friends not really sure as to what happened but smart enough not to push the subject. He steps forward and Loki shadows him with a grim look set on his face.]

Vulcan: (quietly]) It’s a shame that things happened like they did, the fighting is ridiculous and they are only hurting each other. I can’t be close to her anymore because…

Loki: (a low growl) ... she is mine not his. He can’t have that friendship anymore he might try to take it to levels that are off limits to him. He might try to push her to do things she does not want to do. He may say …

Vulcan:… I only want a friendship with her. I know she can’t be mine but can’t he understand that love just does not go away? I don’t want to lose her as a friend because of all of this, I don’t want to have to pick between my friends.

[He looks toward Pele]

Was I ever her friend or just another person she had to deal with? Was I really that much of an ass to her?

Loki: Can’t they all just understand how much this is hurting her. She is being pulled toward them all and is being forced to pick. I can’t help her. I don’t know what to do.

[Pele steps toward Brigid and Loki steps back next to them. His eyes are on Brigid but his whole body is watching Vulcan’s next move. Vulcan watches the three but does not move. Belisama takes a small step toward him.]

Belisama: (to herself) Why did things end up like this? Did I really miss all the warning signs? Could I have done something else? Something more? What if I had just given her space? Not held on so tightly to her, would that have changed things? Could I have controlled my fear of losing another person I cared about to save this friendship? I guess it’s too late now. She has made it clear that I hurt her and she no longer trusts me. I just wish she would have told me sooner, but she does…

Pele: (angry)…bottle things up. I always have, I can’t help it. I have a hard time trusting anyone and it’s not my fault. I know I need to work on it but I can’t help it, she should have listened to me. She should have seen it coming, she had it coming for a long time. I put up with it for five years and I could no longer take it. She hurt me too many times and her wild tongue lashed my heart for the last time. I hope she has learned her lesson, she made me like this. It is her fault.

Belisama: (sad) I just wish that I knew how to make things better. I don’t want to lose the friendship, I don’t want that bridge to be burnt. I still care about her and I still want to be there. I don’t want to have to learn about things second hand. I don’t want there to be a split. I want things to be normal but I can’t have that and I know it. So why act like it then? Why should she spare me the harsh words and glares? It’s only worse when things slip back down that hill.

[Stepping closer to Vulcan she sighs.]

I don’t know what to do or who to turn to. I am left on the outside with a mass of glares sent at me. I am snapped at for reasons unknown to me, tossed aside like a rag doll, and then lied too. I don’t know what to think. Why do I want to hold on to this? She hurt me, she kept me in the dark, she failed to tell me, so why should I trust her? I trusted her as a friend to tell me if something was wrong and she failed. Was I even a friend worth having? She made it seem like everything I ever did was wrong, I never did anything right. I failed.

[Brigid shuffles toward Belisama. Her eyes are casted downward, the two were clearly at odds but there seemed to be something between them.]

Brigid: (softly) I know it seems like we are hanging out more, it’s just because we have so many classes together. I mean we need to study and help each other so that we are ready for the AP tests. They are not easy you know. I still want to be…

Belisama: …friends even though all this has happened. I want to stay in touch when your away and when you come back I want to see you. I don’t want…
Brigid: …our friendship to die because of this.

Scene 5

[Brigid went back to Loki’s side and glanced back toward the two friends that were standing closer together. A frown flickers over her lips as another female enters the stage and walks to Vulcan’s side. Belisama moves into the group with the two and the sides are set. The groups chatter among themselves for a moment before Pele and Brigid step toward the other group. Both look ready for a fight, Loki stands behind them his eyes casted downward. ]

Pele: (Angry and attacking) So you are picking these two? I see how it is, because we are leaving for VT you feel that it is better to replace us…

Brigid: … with them, with her. You said you did not like her, what changed? Why are you spending time with her? I knew you were bitter about us getting into VT and you failing to but why her?

[Belisama looks at the pair for a moment before facing them head on. Her eyes light up as she sets up her counter attack.]

Belisama: ME! You replaced me first, where was I to go? I got left on the outside. I was the one left in the cold, you two pushed me away. It’s not my choice that I just found myself where I stand now, I was pushed away and I had no one to look to. You have Cian and you have him.

[Her finger flies up to point out Loki who steps closer to the fighting group but he still seems unsure as to how to handle the fighting females.]

Who do I have? No one! You left me in the cold and then you shunned him from you.

[Points toward Vulcan who had stepped closer also while the other female backed away.]

You left us alone where did you think we would go? Away from each other? Not hardly, we may have had our moments in the past where things got rough and feelings where hurt but we got over them. We need someone to look to so were else did you think we would go? I am not bitter at you two for getting in, I’m glad you two did. I messed up and it’s my fault that I can’t join you two there but maybe this is for the best anyways. I wish you both luck and if you think otherwise then you really should re-think everything you know about me.

Vulcan: (softly) Easy does it. I don’t want to lose anyone as a friend. I still want to be there for you but he is not too fond of the idea. You made your choice clear. It’s fair. I know it’s the best but you know that I’ll always be here no matter what.

Belisama: (softer this time) I want us to be friends but I know that you two will grow closer and we will grow apart. It’s going to happen and nothing will stop it. I know that I’m going to gain and lose friends but that does not mean I’m going to enjoy it. You both know that I hate change. This is a…

Pele: … a big change. Get used to it, life is all about changes. You can’t change that.

[Another male comes on to the stage, he walks past Pele and glances at her. His eyes soft as he looks between her and Belisama, he takes his stand next to Belisama. Pele’s eyes flashover with anger and Brigid sends glares toward Belisama who had moved herself closer to the male.]

Brigid: (sour like) You’ve made your choice I hope your happy because I won’t be there for you when you need me. I won’t stand and listen to you. I won’t let you hurt me too.

Belisama: (Fuming) Again with blaming me! Do you not see your own actions? Do you not see what you have done to me? Can’t you open your eyes and see that she has done no better than me. So why her over me? She is the one who could not pick between us she could only have one best friend at a time so she swayed. If you remember she hurt you just as much as I did so why am I the one thrown out? Is it because I can relate to the guys better and the “girl” world is foreign to me? Is that it? Am I not enough of a girl for you? Well guess what, this is who I am why the hell should I change? I tried to change already and I was shunned for it. You two will never be happy with what I try to be or who I am. Maybe this is all for the best. I’ll miss you both more then you’ll understand and I know that even after all this I’ll still bend over backward for both of you. I just hope one day we all see some good in this.

[Belisama turns and stalks back to her side of the stage, the new female and male follow her without a pause but Vulcan watches Brigid walk away with Pele and Loki. ]

Vulcan: (softly to himself) I don’t want to lose her but can I still hold on?

[Vulcan glances toward Brigid then Pele. ]

I can’t be around her. She shuts me down and causes me to feel lower then her. I don’t want to be in her company if she feels that she must berate me like she does. I always thought of her as a friend but did she think of me as one?

[Vulcan moves toward Belisama and her group without another word.]

Belisama: (to Vulcan softly) I don’t know anymore. Everything has changed so much and yet I still want it all too just be normal again. I don’t want to lose them. I don’t want to keep going with this useless fight. It’s hurting everyone and it’s not fair. I want to end it all.

[Her body falls toward the ground, Vulcan’s hand grabs for her along with the unknown male. Their eyes met and the newcomer’s flash with a protective look. The female fades from sight as Vulcan sits next to Belisama and she rests her head on his shoulder. The unknown male is casted in a darker beam as the two sit next to each other. ]

Vulcan and Belisama: (Together) Thank you.

[The second narrator steps forward casted still in a pink hue. The unknown male helps Belisama and Vulcan up and they stand on one side of the stage. Belisama glances over toward the others but keeps her body faced away from them. Vulcan keeps himself facing forward, he has picked but that does not mean he wants to leave the other and forget about them.]

Narrator 2: The sides have been set and each of them are headed down a path that will lead them away from each other. They will have many hills to climb in the coming years, maybe they will find each other again or maybe they will find others. Time is short but they have learned a lot from each other and they will hold it dear and never forget the other.
